Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the incidence and diagnostic value of MRI in premature infants with brain damage. Method:
One hundred and thirty cases of premature infants' brains were detected by MRI within one week after their birth. Results: The incidence of brain lesion in premature infants was 63.8%, of which hemorrhage was much higher with an incident rate of 29.2%, and hemorrhage and ischemic lesion was the second with an incident rate of 24.6%. DWI was more sensitive to white matter damage, and SWI was sensitive to hemorrhagic focus. Conclusion: MRI provided an accurate imaging for brain damage diagnosis in premature infants.

Key words: premature infants, brain damage, MRI, clinic analysis
